LAMP.

simple and eflieient lamp adapted for use onautomobiles, boats, and other vehicles, and it has particular reference to lamps adapted to contain incandescent electric lamp bulbs, an

' object of my invention being to permit ready removal and replacement of the protecting glass globe or shield.- Myinv ention comprises novel details of improvement and combinations of parts that will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claims;

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a lamp embodying my invention; Fig. 2: is a view of the supporting devices looking from the left hand in Fig. 1; Fig.3 is a section on the line 3, 3, in Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows; and Fig. 4 is a side view of a modified form of the lamp.

In the drawings the numerals 1 and 2 indicate upper and lower caps that receive the globe or flame chamber 3, preferably of glass, which caps are shown provided with flange portions 1, 2", bearing against the corresponding shoulder portions 3, 3", of globe or shield 3.

A t 4, 4 are suitably shaped braces or bars shown attached attheir corresponding outer ends to the caps 1, 2, respectively, by rivets 5, the opposite ends of said braces being shown alined and spaced apart, and pro are maintained in re ative positions. Member 6 is shown provided with an outwardly extending portion 6 having an upwardly extending opening 6 to receive a bracketor postfor supporting the lamp, a nut. 8 secured in the portion 6 receiving screw 8 for holding member 6 upon the supporting bracket.

'ith the parts 9 to 15 fitted-tocap 2 a'nd the braces 4, 4 (one or both) loosened from member 6, globe 3 may be inserted ,between saidcaps, the latter then 'adjustedagainst 7, 0 the globe and the-bolts 7 tightened, whereby the braces 4, 4* will be secured in'a.dju sted,#-. position to member 6, and the ')arts will.. all be held'in firm relation to contain the globe properly fitted between caps '1 and 2. {IWherLJ it is desiredfto remove the globe,.as ,ior v f 4 outwardly to release the globe, jand t, l ien.,' Qi

In Fig. 4 I have shown my improvements tally disposed globe 3, wherein, suitable caps 1*, 2*"at opposite ends of the globe areheld by the devices 4,74, (land 7 "iIrthQ-IIEIIIQQIJ} before described, but in this casethfpart,6,v and opening (iiextend transversely with respect to the parts 4, 4 so that the latter extend horizontally in supporting thelamp upon the usual bracket instead of vertically as in Figs. 1 and 2.

By means of the adjustability bet-ween member 6 and braces 4, 4 globes of different length are adapted to be used.

It will be understood that one of the braces can be permanently attached to member 6 while the adjustable means between said member and the other brace will permit removal and replacement of. the globe or flame chamber.

My improvements are simple and cheap. to manufacture, may be stamped from sheet metal, will hold the globe properly and se-' curely in place, take up jar and vibration, permit ready adjustment, replacement and cleaning of the parts, are efiicient in use, and not liable to get out of order..

Having now described my invention what I claim is I 1; A lamp comprising aglobe, caps at' opposite ends of the globe retaining said connected with said braces and provided globe, braces extending from said caps, and

means for detacha-bly'connecting said braces.

2 A lamp comprising a: globe, caps at opposite .ends of the globe retaining said globe, braces extending from said caps, and means for detachably connecting said braces, said means comprising a member adjustably with means to receive abracket for supporting the same.

'3. Alamp comprising a globe, caps at opposite ends of the globe retaining'said globe, braces attached to sa d caps and extending toward each other, a supportmg member connected with said braces, and means for :IdJlIStlIlg said braces in connection with said receive a supporting bracket. I

.4. A- lalnp' comprising a globe, caps at the ends of the globe provldcdwith openings member, said member having. an opening to 'receiving said globe, braces extending from braces extending from said caps, a supporting member provided with a channel. raceiving said braces, and means for adjustably connectlng'the braces with said member, said member hav ng means for detachable connection with a support.

6. A lamp compris ng a globe,' c aps at the ends of the globe having openings receiving the globe, braces: extending from said caps, and a supporting member provided with a chan'nelreceiving said braces, said braces having slots, said member having bolts engaging said slots, said member having an opening to receive a supporting bracket, and means to detachably retain said member on the bracket.

7. A lamp comprising a globe, caps at the ends'of the globe, means to retain said caps in connection with the globe, one of said caps being provided with insulation, a

tube extending upwardly within the cap from said insulation, ,an insulating block carried by said tube, said block having a lamp sockct,

8. A lamp comprising a globe, caps at the ends of the globe, means to retain said' caps in connection with the globe, one of said caps being provided with insulation, a

tube extending upwardly within the cap from said insulation, an,insulating block carried by said tube, said block having a lamp socket, and means for detachably securing-said block to sm 'tabe.

9. The combination 0 a plurality of I braces, a supporting mem radjustably c011- nected with saidbraces, and means at the outer ends of said braces 'for receiving and retaining a globe between. said braces, said member having means for detachable connection with a supporting bracket.
